Led modernization of mission-critical banking applications by designing secure, scalable cloud-native platforms across AWS and Azure. Architected production-grade multi-region Kubernetes environments (AKS and EKS), implemented GitOps with ArgoCD across 50+ cluster nodes, and built reusable Terraform modules to reduce environment replication overhead by 50%. Established enterprise observability using OpenTelemetry and Datadog across 2,000+ application endpoints. Automated ML platform infrastructure using Kubeflow and MLflow, and delivered GPU-capable node provisioning. Hardened security posture via Azure RBAC (least privilege), Key Vault encryption, and embedded container security scanning. Improved resilience through chaos/failure simulations, and enhanced uptime by 30%. Delivered CI/CD and data infrastructure automation for Redshift and RDS, built resilient centralized Elasticsearch logging with ILM optimizations, and automated operational workflows via Python/Bash. Integrated Service
Modernized healthcare claims processing by migrating high-traffic workloads to a HIPAA-compliant Azure Kubernetes Service platform using Terraform and AKS. Orchestrated hybrid networking using Azure ExpressRoute and AWS Direct Connect. Built unified secrets ingestion integrating AWS Secrets Manager with Azure Key Vault inside CI/CD workflows. Enforced compliance using Azure Policy extensions and CI/CD audit blocks. Implemented storage lifecycle automation across Amazon S3 and Azure Blob tiers. Re-architected enterprise CI/CD using Azure DevOps and Jenkins for containerized microservices delivery. Created reusable staging/production infrastructure blueprints via nested Terraform and Ansible, embedded DevSecOps image scanning (Aqua, Trivy), and deployed Kafka event-driven messaging on Kubernetes. Built monitoring dashboards with Prometheus/Grafana, designed DR using Azure Site Recovery with failover simulations (RTO-focused), integrated enterprise SSO via Azure AD with RBAC, automated Ng
Orchestrated automation and scaling of 5G network services by deploying containerized applications on Amazon EKS. Designed production EKS clusters within private subnets using AWS VPC CNI for optimized throughput. Implemented serverless cost mitigation with Lambda/Python to remove orphaned EBS volumes and idle Elastic IPs. Built geo-distributed traffic routing with Route 53 (weighted/latency policies). Automated AWS Config remediation to flag and correct non-compliant configurations. Created an immutable Golden Image factory using Packer and hardened AMIs distributed across AWS org roots. Administered Jenkins build execution farms and coordinated container build artifacts with Nexus. Provisioned multi-cloud network backbones with Terraform and AWS CDK. Regulated image lifecycles with ECR scanning workflows and integrated with ECS/EKS runtimes. Implemented zero-downtime blue/green and canary releases via Spinnaker. Deployed centralized observability using ELK and created Kibana visuals
